4-Methylbenzyl mercaptan

CAS 4498-99-1: 4-Methylbenzyl mercaptan

Description:4-Methylbenzyl mercaptan, also known as p-tolyl mercaptan, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiol functional group (-SH) attached to a p-methylphenyl group. Its molecular formula is C8H10S, indicating it consists of eight carbon atoms, ten hydrogen atoms, and one sulfur atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor reminiscent of garlic or rotten cabbage, which is common among thiols. 4-Methylbenzyl mercaptan is known for its use in the synthesis of various chemical intermediates and as a flavoring agent in the food industry, although its strong odor limits its direct application. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Safety considerations are important when handling this compound, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended to mitigate exposure risks.
